Climate change refers to long-term shifts in Earth's average temperatures and weather patterns, primarily caused by human activities like burning fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the planet to warm gradually, which leads to widespread effects including melting ice caps, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. Scientists measure these changes over decades and centuries to distinguish them from normal daily weather fluctuations, and the evidence shows our climate is warming at an unprecedented rate compared to natural historical cycles.
